Prologue :Tell Me a Story

"I chose to be the one, but I didn't ask to be the chosen one."
Sylas of Agramina has one goal in life: taking care of Endor, his younger brother. He also has one desire: to kill the Veiled One, a witch who is responsible for taking the lives of hundreds of boys over the centuries. Each year, a new village is selected to send the Veiled One a bridegroom, a bridegroom who will be dead before the year is up.
This year, it's Sylas's village's turn.
And this bridegroom has no intention of dying.
